Solar system Mercury and Venus are nearer the sun than the earth is, while the other six planets are farther away. Each planet moves around the sun in a curved path, or orbit. All the planets except Mercury, Venus, and probably Pluto, have one or more moons, or satellites.ut you can tell a planet from a star because planets shine steadily while stars twinkle. One way planets are different from stars is that they are made up of solids such as rocks and dust. Another way planets are different from stars is that they are many times smaller than most stars.
